,.......... Carmen Tawater rides again . . . and again . . . and again. Goat ropers need love too! The purpose of the Rodeo Club is to achieve greater skill in the equestrian art as well as to form better sportsmen and women through individual competition. They were a member of the North Texas High School Rodeo Association, which has a membership of over fifty schools. They competed in sanctioned rodeos for individ- ual points as well as team points. All were totaled towards the finals in May. Only the top fifteen in each event were eligible to go to these finals. By participation in these rodeos the club won many trophies to serve as reminders of the prowess of the Rodeo Club members of 1972-73. These winnings brought honor to the club as well as pride to O. D. Wyatt. In addition to participating in activities outside of Wyatt the club sponsored many of their own activities. A carwash and a radio raffle were among the money raising proiects. The main proiect of the club, the annual O. D. Wyatt Rodeo, was held on the ninth and tenth of February. The profits from this rodeo provided the funds neces- sary to hold their annual spring dance. The club had that spirit that only Wyatt students can have. They possessed an undying desire to be the best Rodeo Club around to enhance their self-esteem as well as O. D. Wyatt's. . . -::- , wx.

Good grief you are a lousy driver! Room H-61 houses the Orthopedic Club. The members try to encourage understanding between teachers and pupils of regular classes and orthopedic students. They feel that it is important to further encourage a realistic accept- ance of physical abilities in orthopedic students while still maintaining worthwhile ambitions. The club works outside of Wyatt to maintain a relationship with Concerned Youth for Cerebral Palsy in order to better inform the public of the needs, potentials and achievements of the orthopedi unit. The orthopedic club's school and social activities wen many and varied. They hosted a Christmas Buffet Progran for their parents as well as informal Birthday celebration for club members throughout the year. A production a Romeo and Juliet was viewed with interest by the mem bers at Casa Manana in October. Q ' C - x : I - fa' r ' j,.- ' .':-,N , 1 5' ' ....

lt is a strike! . . . No, it is a split. A new club was organized this year by students interested in the sport of bowling. The idea behind the organiza- tion was to provide an opportunity for interested students to develop their bowling skills. Bowling is a popular sport that is enioyed by both our male and female students. They practiced after school at the Berry bowling alley near the school to prepare for competi- tion in tournaments both on an individ- ual and a team basis. This is easy . . .Plop Another new club at Wyatt this year was the Ice Skating Club. The main pur- pose of the club was to get students interested in ice athletics and they tried hard to arrange times when everyone could meet and skate together. Although most of the members did not know how to skate in the beginning, they quickly learned how to balance themselves on the narrow blades and skate like pros. The scrapes, bruises, numb toes, and injured egos never dulled their appetite for skating. im THE BOWLING CLUB OFFICERS FOR I972-73 WERE: Ted Bruton, Sec., Tony Washington, Pres., and Reggie Youn V.-Pres. fi 1 THE ICE SKATING CLUB OFFICERS FOR 1972-73 WERE: Rick Newman, Pres., Susan Miller, Sec., Sue William Treas., and Susie Hitt, V.-Pres.
